RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC., in the amount of $40,000,000, to purchase pharmaceuticals and related supplies for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, and the Martinez Detention Facility, for the period September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.












BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center is satisfied with Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC as a vendor, and wishes to continue the working relationship with them. Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC, provides three different purchasing contracts: WAC (Wholesaler Acquisition Cost) accounts (Inpatient 34-18446; Outpatient 34-18765), Novation for the hospital (110459), as well as the Public Health System contract for 340B (federal-ceiling pricing for disproportionate share facilities) for ambulatory care. The Cardinal Health contract renewal allows the CCRMC to purchase medications and related supplies at the best price through Novation contract. Furthermore, Health Plan uses Cardinal Health as their source to provide medications for their patients through the 340B plan via its contract pharmacy arrangement (i.e., Walgreens). Having Cardinal as our wholesaler maximizes the cost savings for the CCRMC and Health Centers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the Hospital Pharmacy, as well as all Ambulatory Care Pharmacies within the CCRMC will not be able to receive drugs from our wholesaler, and the result would be a much higher cost of pharmaceuticals.
